actually writing a few specialized NPO-style report using the API. A
great acid test will be to use the API to implement the

2. Build a better test suite for [Ledger-CLI](http://www.ledger-cli.org/).
Since this project relies so heavily on Ledger-CLI, we'd really like there
to be a full test coverage for Ledger-CLI. To do that, a student will
need to be already somewhat familiar C++ and willing to learn about how to
set up test suites for C++ programs, and likes writing tests. The student
could easily spend the whole summer just writing tests and not finish.
Ledger-CLI does have the beginnings of a test suite, but its test harness
needs work and improvement, and it would be very good if a test coverage
report was generated. There is also work to be done to investigate what
test coverage tools should be used for the project.
Ledger-CLI does have a basic test suite, but it might turn out that using
a more "full featured" test harness is useful. The student will
investigate and discuss this possibility with the mentor. It would also
be nice if lconv or other test-coverage tool could generate reports
automatically.
While this project is of primary interest to this project, it will
require careful coordination with Ledger-CLI as an upstream, and we'll
help mentor the student in that.
3. Build a better Python interface to Ledger-CLI for use by our API.
Right now, Ledger-CLI has a rather incomplete Python interface, based on
